Dubois supplied two assists in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Dubois secured his third consecutive multi-point game in Saturday's clash, recording his pair of helpers inside the first six minutes of the contest. He's been scorching as of late with eight points over his last three contests. Overall, the 27-year-old center is up to 17 points, 38 shots on net, 21 hits and 12 blocked shots through 25 appearances this season. When healthy, Dubois provides strong fantasy value and is an excellent streaming option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs. He should continue to play a top-six role for the Capitals as they try to make a late push for a playoff spot.

Laferriere scored a goal Saturday in a 7-6 overtime win against Toronto.

Laferriere has nine points (three goals, six assists) in his last 10 games (29 shots). He's warming up at the right time. Laferriere's goal was the third in a span of 1:36 in the third that drove the Kings up 6-4. It was the winger's 19th goal of the season, which equals his career mark (2024-25). His 191 shots are just two from tying his high-water mark (193), also set last season.

Alexandrov scored twice in AHL Ontario's 6-3 win of Bakersfield on Saturday.

Alexandrov is up to 14 goals and 50 points across 62 appearances. It's officially a career-best year in the AHL for the forward, who has split the season between two organizations after starting the campaign with AHL Springfield. He's yet to get a call-up to the Kings despite his strong play.

Ovechkin recorded two assists and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo.

Ovechkin reached the 30-assist mark for the 13th time in his NHL career with Saturday's pair of helpers. Overall, the 40-year-old star is up to 61 points, 224 shots on net and 115 hits across 77 games this season. He's also surpassed the 60-point threshold for the fifth consecutive season and the 19th time in his legendary career. He's been extremely steady on offense over his last nine games with 10 points, proving to still be a high-level fantasy option late in his 21st NHL season.

Kuemper made 14 saves in a 7-6 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

The Kings are clinging to the second wild card, but they have played like they don't want it, and Kuemper has been pelted with pucks lately. He was under fire most of the night, and he has allowed 15 goals in his last three games (1-1-1). His save percentage is a meager .786 in that span. Kuemper is a tough activation as long as the Kings continue to play firewagon hockey.

Hague sustained an undisclosed injury and won't return to Saturday's game versus the Sharks.

Hague's injury leaves the Predators down a blueliner in a critical matchup. The 27-year-old can be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Monday versus the Kings, Ryan Ufko will likely draw back into the lineup.

McMichael scored a goal, distributed an assist, fired five shots on net, had two blocked shots and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

McMichael eclipsed the 40-point mark on the season with a goal early in the opening period before later providing the lone helper on Tom Wilson's shorthanded tally. Overall, McMichael now has 11 goals, 41 points, 137 shots on net, 43 hits and 41 blocked shots through 73 games this season. The 25-year-old center has been a steady contributor for Washington's offense as of late, with seven points over his last nine games. He's a solid streaming option in numerous fantasy formats for the remainder of the regular season.

Bowman scored twice and added two assists in AHL Henderson's 5-4 win over Tucson on Saturday.

Bowman has five points over two outings after coming back to the AHL. He was a cap casualty for the Golden Knights, who got Carter Hart back from a long-term lower-body injury earlier in the week. Bowman has 17 points in 14 AHL contests and 26 points across 54 appearances in the NHL. While he may not get a regular opportunity for the rest of this season, the 22-year-old should get a long look in training camp.

Strome tallied a goal, fired four shots on net and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo.

Strome scored the Capitals' second goal of the night just 20 seconds after Jakob Chychrun gave the team an early lead. Overall, Strome is up to 18 goals, 55 points, 138 shots on net and 49 blocked shots across 75 games this season. He has picked up his scoring pace as of late with two goals and five points over his last seven games. He still has a chance to reach the 60-point mark for the fourth consecutive regular season if he can maintain his current rate of offensive production.

Protas scored a goal, supplied an assist and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Protas made an immediate impact upon his return to the lineup following his two-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old forward picked up the primary helper on Dylan Strome's goal before scoring an unassisted tally himself in the second period. Overall, Protas has 24 goals, 25 assists, 151 shots on net, 32 hits and 39 blocked shots across 71 games this season. He is in a great spot to continue producing on Washington's top line, giving him a strong chance to secure 50 or more points for a second straight year.
